I was caught off guard and momentarily forgot to hide my Alpha status. In a blur of motion, I rushed over to Loretta. “What’s going on, Loretta?”

Loretta, too excited to notice how fast I moved–something only an Alpha would be capable of–was practically jumping up and down, pointing at her phone with uncontainable joy. “I won! I won! This is amazing!”

I stood there for a moment, speechless, trying to process the sudden excitement.

“What game are you playing, and why are you so worked up about it?” I asked, genuinely curious.

Loretta’s grin stretched even wider as she replied, “It’s War and Civilization.”

I nodded, intrigued but still not fully understanding what was so special about it. Loretta continued, “I haven’t been playing for long, but I’m already at level 30. And I’ve heard of this big player, Joybringer!‘”

“Joybringer is incredible. Her skills are off the charts! I’ve seen her gameplay videos, and she’s unbeatable!” Loretta added, her excitement growing.

I tried to suppress my amusement, coughing lightly before asking with a teasing tone, “Do you like her?”

Loretta quickly clarified, “Not like that! But her skills are insane! She’s always leading his team to victory. If I could be on her team, I wouldn’t even have to try. I’d just win and level up so fast!”

Loretta then turned her focus back to me. “Hayley, do you play games?”

I smiled. “I do, but it’s been a while. Maybe we can play together sometime.”

“Yes! Let me know when you’re online. I’ll be ready! Anyway, I’ve got to go. My teammates are waiting. You should get some sleep; I’ll play a few more rounds.” She said it all in one breath, quickly returned to her game, and no longer paid attention to me.
